When do we fall back this year? I'm asking because my puter changed, but I haven't heard anything about it yet. Thanks

Don't set your clocks back an hour this weekend or you'll have a lot of coworkers laughing at you on Monday morning. This year, Daylight Saving Time ends 2 a.m. the first Sunday in November, instead of the last Sunday in October.
For that, you can thank the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005. To save energy, U.S. legislators set the stage then for 34 weeks of DST, beginning this year.
The savings "could be in the ballpark" of 1% of household consumption on a daily basis, said Rob Douglas, research officer at the time standards group of the National Research Council of Canada.
So it won't be until next week that everyone rolls back the hands of time -- everyone except Saskatchewan that is. The province stubbornly sticks with Central Standard Time, year round.

Daylight Savings time was changed to start earlier in the year and end later as of 2007. This was one of those brilliant moves by our politicians to help the environment. A great inconvience to a lot of transportation businesses, but, heck, the politicians get to say they did something about global warming.

First Saturday night (actually 2 AM Sunday) in November (the 4th or so)

Boycott the idiocy! Don't change your clock... insist on leaving the damn things alone!
